Enter the total profit earned ($) and the total spent on human capital ($) into the Return on Human Capital Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Return on Human Capital. 

Return on Human Capital Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Return on Human Capital. 

ROHC = P / HC * 100
  • Where ROHC is the Return on Human Capital (%)
  • P is the total profit earned ($) 
  • HC is the total spent on human capital ($) 

To calculate the return on human capital, divide the profit earned by the total spent on human capital, then multiply by 100.

How to Calculate Return on Human Capital?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Return on Human Capital.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total profit earned ($).
    • The total profit earned ($) is given as: 1,000.
  2. Next, determine the total spent on human capital ($).
    • The total spent on human capital ($) is provided as: 400.
  3. Finally, calculate the Return on Human Capital using the equation above: 

ROHC = P / HC * 100

The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:

ROHC = 1000 / 400 * 100 = 250.00 (%)

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:

total profit earned ($) = 6000

total spent on human capital ($) = 1000
